behaviors and attitudes
correlated with student
achievement like
creativity, growth
mindset, and resiliency.

2.5 hours after school
and up to 9 hours/day
during the summer and is
open to all students
enrolled in the
district. Homeschooled
and private school
students within the host
school’s catchment area
are also welcomed to
attend.
BHK GE
offers targeted academic
support, healthy meals,
unique enrichment
opportunities, and
health and wellness
activities based on
students’ interests,
needs, and developmental
abilities. Hands-on
activities address
literacy, fitness, STEM,
nutrition, arts, and
positive character trait
building, to enhance
learning and create
opportunities for new
experiences for youth.
Community
collaboration,
connection to local
culture, and a
trauma-informed approach
are highlights of the
program.
